Indore, December 4, 2018: Kurl-on, India’s leading & largest selling mattress, home furniture and furnishing brand, today announced the launch of India’s 1st sag proof ‘STR8’ technology mattresses and ‘Sleep Station-Mattress in a Box’, two pioneering products highly relevant to young consumers, leading busy daily routines and looking for higher comfort and convenience.

‘Mattress in a box’ introduces to the domestic market a globally successful product, that enables the young, digital savvy consumer shop for mattresses as easily and quickly as he/she does for any of their other home furnishings. The product is specially designed with a responsive foam where mattress comes to its desired shape within 9 mins after 1st time unfolding. It is also designed for universal comfort level as it is not too firm nor too soft surface, which goes with all kinds of sleepers. The product is functional, easy to transport and could be very useful in extreme conditions of natural and man-made calamities. The mattress packed in an easy to carry box can either be purchased by customers online from the comfort of their homes or easily carried back home, from any of the Kurl-on brand outlets.

‘STR8’ technology is Kurl-on’s pioneering technology developed post the success of its earlier launched ‘Kurlopedic Technology’ and is a first of its kind product providing the right balance of firmness and softness in mattresses enabling appropriate muscle relaxation and growth, much needed for the vast majority, leading hectic lifestyles and exercising very less. Additionally, it makes the mattress 20-40% lighter, making it easy to use and maintain. The new technology to be introduced in Kurl-on’s coir mattresses at first, before it is gradually extended to the foam and spring mattresses as well will be a key differentiator for Kurl-on’s mattresses besides reiterating the brand’s synonymous association with quality, when it comes to mattresses. The two products are an addition to the recent launch of Kurl-on’s exclusive sofa range, catering to the hitherto untapped semi-premium market in India.
